About this book
An Account of the Battle of Chateauguay is a lecture delivered at Ormstown, March 8th, 1889, by W.D. Lighthall. The preface says another immediate object is the erection of a monument on the battlefield, to accomplish which pecuniary assistance is required.
Captain Longtin of the Beauharnois Militia caused his men to kneel and went through a short prayer with them. A tall mounted American officer rode forward and began a harangue to the Canadians in French. De Salaberry sprang upon a stump, discharged his musket as a signal to begin, and brought the American officer off his horse by the shot. A numbered note says bullets are found every year on the scene.
